Tina reviewed: Willow Angel

"Victoria supplied very good communications and instructions prior to the day. Parking was easy and on entering her workshop I was filled with awe and confidence. She displays her range of wonderful willow creations. The day was well paced. Instruction was thorough and attentive, as a left hander she guided me when needed. I came away with a beautiful willow Angel. "

"Hi Tina, Thank you for your kind words. I'm so glad you enjoyed making your Angel. They were all beautiful. Victoria"

"Wonderful to come away with a lovely robust and functional foraging basket after just 6 hours of intensive guidance. Victoria very accomodating and informative with her hands-on tuition. A nice chatty and relaxed atmosphere in great venue. Well worth the cost for the basket I created let alone the invaluable learning of new skills. Thank you Victoria for your patience. "

Lucie reviewed: Peg Loom Seat Mat made with fleeces from our own flock.

"If you want to spend your Sunday in a fun and relaxing way, peg loom weaving may be just the thing for you. To ensure we all finish our makes, Victoria was happy to go over the designated time! She had prepared a mountain of wool from the sheep in her care- I used the softest white wool from Peter Pan, the sheep who loves to wear hats and other head gear. You could choose from different colours, and some added a piece of fabric to their design. My completed project is on my office chair already and is very comfortable. Peg loom weaving is very achievable and the final result is rewarding. "

The Willow Barn responded:

"Hi Lucie, Thank you and so glad you enjoyed your time here making your fabulous seat pad. I'll let Peter Pan know you gave him a mention. ;-)"
